Fumigation-Tragedy Survivor Back in Hospital

One of the boys from the Gross family in Jerusalem underwent surgery, Tuesday morning at Schneider Children's Hospital in Petach Tikva, to remove an obstacle to his breathing. He was admitted to the hospital, Monday evening with difficulty breathing.

The boy and his brother were released from the hospital less than a week ago following concern for their survival after a fumigation accident in which their sisters died. The incident has led to legislation for stricter controls on exterminators.
